Spots & areas

Baltic Sea

- Diverse windsurfing highlights: Big wave missions, freestyle experiments, crash clips and spectacular drone footage from around the world.
- Several riders such as Balz Müller, George Grisley, Jaeger Stone and Julian Salmonn show creative manoeuvres, combination sessions and training concepts.
- Special events and conditions: Storms, extraordinary swells, iQFOiL Games, Ice Surfing World Championships and nostalgic flashbacks to the 1990s.

- Ducking the sail is a key element of many power moves and involves ducking under the leech rather than switching sides of the mast.
- Equipment setup and technique are crucial; ducking can be practised even in light winds.
- The duck tack and switch heli tack serve as light-wind warm-up exercises for freestyle moves and help develop sail control in specific foot positions.

- This guide presents eight windsurfing wave spots around the world that offer relatively beginner-friendly conditions despite the surf.
- What they have in common are shallow, often sandy entry points, moderately breaking waves, plenty of space on the leeward side and, in most cases, a lack of rocks in the main area.
- The spots cover different wind directions, climate zones and levels of infrastructure, thus allowing for progressive learning from flat water to reef waves.

- Standing areas offer shallow, mostly shallow water, low swell and a high level of safety for beginners and intermediates in windsurfing.  
- The spots presented range from inland areas and Baltic Sea bays to Caribbean and Egyptian lagoons, some of which have a year-round wind season.  
- Many spots have surf schools, hire centres, campsites or resorts, making surf sessions convenient and logistically simple.

- Spring storm hits Hohwacht Bay; initially unspectacular conditions with small waves and gusty winds.  
- The wind picks up considerably around 6 p.m. and around 50 windsurfers, including top riders such as Maria Behrens and Leon Jamaer, take to the water.  
- Despite the cold, an intense session with cutbacks, backloops and wave manoeuvres is created in the magical evening light, which remains particularly impressive.

- The expected large influx of salt water into the Baltic Sea did not materialise; only a weak to medium influx with limited spreading occurred.  
- Oxygen depletion in the deep Baltic Sea can be distinguished from localised fish kills near the coast and is separated by the stable salinity layer.  
- Oxygen depletion in the deep water has almost doubled in 30 years, mainly due to nutrient inputs from agriculture; countermeasures will not take effect until 2050 at the earliest.

- A low-pressure system first brought rain, later sunshine and strong north-easterly winds to the Baltic Sea.  
- On Rügen, the bay south of the Mukran ferry harbour had particularly high, powerful waves.  
- Neu Mukran provided ideal conditions for surfing and jumping, captured in a gallery by Marcus Friedrich.

- Strong north-easterly winds and sunshine ensured ideal windsurfing conditions in the Bay of Lübeck at the start of spring.
- In Kellenhusen, 4.5-m² sails were already in use in the morning, with many switching to smaller sails with a "three in front of the decimal point" at lunchtime.
- Around 35 windsurfers and a few kiters used the round, but not always powerful waves on the sandbanks for turns and jumps.

- Despite nature conservation conflicts, Fehmarn remains a central water sports area; instead of a national park, the "Baltic Sea Protection Action Plan 2030" now applies.  
- The island offers specialised spots for almost every wind direction with standing areas, wave areas and deep-water areas suitable for foiling.  
- Tourist infrastructure with campsites, surf schools, shops and alternative programmes make Fehmarn heavily dependent on water sports.

- Schleswig-Holstein weist drei neue Meeresschutzgebiete aus, um bis 2030 12,5 % der Ostsee streng zu schützen.  
- In den Gebieten sind Fischerei, Jagd, Rohstoffabbau, Bauvorhaben und schnelle Motorbootfahrten untersagt, Baden bleibt erlaubt.  
- Für den Winter ist eine Befahrensverordnung geplant; Korridore für Wassersport sind in zwei, nicht jedoch in der südlichen Hohwachter Bucht vorgesehen.
